Proof that [[Sturgeon's Law|the remaining 10% is worth dying for]] here:
These are recommendations made by [[Troper|Tropers]]s for [[The Twelve Kingdoms]], all of which have been signed. After a few samples, you will be able to judge whether you might be interested in the 'fic, based on who recommended it. ''No-name recommendations will be '''[[Zapped (wiki)]]'''.'' Nobody would back up the rec. Discussion of the recommendation is welcome on the discussion page. As such discussion is important, do remember to add the discussion page to the watchlist, if need be.
Do warn when a fanfic may head into [[Better Than Canon|non-canon]] territory. Some people just don't like it, and as we all know, [[Shipping]] is [[Serious Business]].

* ''Synopsis'': Youko has questions.
* ''Comments'': A little snapshot of a fic that touches on Youko's efforts at understanding her new world and makes an insightful observation or two in the process, as well as being very funny at several points without actually being comedic. The tone of the narrative eloquently conveys Youko's wry exasperation, and captures the characterizations of both Rakushun and Shouryuu in little more than one sentence apiece.

* ''Pairing'': Yoko/Rakushun, Keiki/hilarious social incompetence (as says the author)
* ''Synopsis'': Yoko comes to En to attend Rakushun's graduation from the university.
* ''Comments'': I love how this fic treats the characters and their relationships- it introduces a romance between Yoko and Rakushun in a way that feels true to canon, and it doesn't ignore the other characters or Yoko's responsibility to Kei in the process. The story is about Kei as much as it is about Yoko and Rakushun- Yoko and her court working to make Kei a better place, Rakushun's choice between his home of Kou, where he could never make a difference; Kei, where he could; and En, where he could have a much easier life but isn't actually needed. Their interactions, Shoukei's plans for the future, Suzu's and Keiki's different worries- it's all very true to the series, with the characters' personal lives so bound up with the kingdom that sometimes it's hard to tell where one starts and the other begins.
